ABOLITION OF RE-ENTRY VISA FOR RE-ENTERING NIGERIA

Adopted: 02 July 2015 Date Filed: 04 September 2015

To facilitate the departure of expatriates and their employers in Nigeria, the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) issued a Circular that it shall abolish the requirement of re-entry visas for re-entering Nigeria by expatriates who are holders of valid residence permits, also known as Combined Expatriate Residence Permit and Residence Card (CERPAC) as well as holders of Temporary CERPAC Receipts purchased for the purpose of processing their legal residence.

However, all accredited diplomats and their duly registered dependents in Foreign Missions in Nigeria shall continue to enjoy the issuance of re-entry visas (gratis) within the period of their accreditation.

For information and guidance.
